Welcome to my profile! With extensive experience in career coaching in Quant Finance, I am here to help you navigate the competitive world of hedge funds. As the former Executive Director and Director of Careers at the TOP RANKED UC Berkeley Masters in Financial Engineering (MFE) program. I have placed over 500+ students and professionals at hedge funds like Citadel, Point72, Cubist and more. I currently lead a community dedicated to advancing careers in quantitative finance, offering personalized coaching for Quantitative Finance , resume reviews, and strategic career planning through QuantMinds. My previous roles at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and Stanford GSB have equipped me with a deep understanding of the finance industry and the skills needed to succeed.

Welcome to my profile! I work as an Equity Analyst at Point72 and previously at Goldman Sachs. Over the years, I've successfully coached individuals for junior banking, asset management, hedge fund roles as well as top university admissions. I can help you navigate the application process, master stock pitches, handle all types of interviews and crack case studies.

I worked at Citadel as a long/short equities investor on a pod covering Industrials, Technology and Financials, after pivoting from a non-investment role at BCG into the world's leading multi-strategy pod shop. I'm fresh out of the recruitment process and understand the current landscape in both the U.S. and Europe.

With more than two decades of experience in the finance industry, I offer deep expertise to help you succeed in the highly competitive hedge fund landscape. Before transitioning to private equity and venture capital, I spent over 15 years analyzing, selecting, and investing in hedge fund and credit strategies, while actively managing a diversified portfolio of investments in the sector.

I have successfully passed hedge fund case studies and stock pitch rounds. Can assist prospective candidates in refining their stock pitch, and discuss what to expect during various case studies / fit interviews.

With a robust background in hedge funds, private equity, and management consulting, I bring a wealth of experience from top-tier firms like McKinsey & Company, Bain Capital, and Meritage Group. As an Equity Analyst at Reade Street, a long-only investment fund with >$1 billion assets under management, I specialize in generating and diligencing investment ideas while working to ensure effective capital deployment. My academic credentials include a Master's in Finance and Private Equity from the London School of Economics and majors in Mathematics and Economics from Stanford, where I graduated with a 4.01 GPA. Over the years, I've successfully helped many individuals navigate how to get prestigious jobs at hedge funds, private equity firms, and management consultancies. Whether you're looking to break into any of these industries or advance your career, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and chart your path to success!

I have successfully guided mentees to offers at Morgan Stanley, Point72 Academy, Evercore, Blackstone Tactical Opportunities, Moelis, and other elite financial services firms. My coaching is grounded in real-world buy-side experience: I began my career at the longest-tenured long-short equity investing program, Point72 Academy, and currently work at The Cypress Funds, a $1.5B AUM 3-person public equities investment team.

I spent 19 years trading fixed income and equity futures at institutional level. I've lived every psychological trap this industry throws at you: drawdowns, position sizing under pressure, the paralysis after a losing streak, the overconfidence after a good run. I'm not a psychologist who read about trading. I've been in the chair at the level you're operating at and I've felt those same emotions.

I currently spend time in my role on public equity investing. I can help you prepare for interviews, stock pitches, and general ideas for your HF role.
